"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021."

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York.

He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 2d

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 2d

Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.

She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."

Hamilton: "No, your honor."

go.bsky.app/5ALbU2P 47 is demanding his personal bulldog Pam Bondi to attack his enemies because he is so fragile he crumbles if someone calls him a loser. The DOJ is supposed to be independent. But with a dictator, the constitution is worthless. Follow and keep the pressure.
